About this map

Tionesta Creek winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, defining the valley where settlements like Kellettville and Newtown Flats took root. Located within the Allegheny National Forest, the region is marked by a complex network of runs and forks, including East Hickory Creek and Ross Run, which carve through the plateau. Small upland communities and named locales such as Whig Hill, Crystal Springs, and Starr are connected by forest roads and lanes like German Hill Rd and Church Hill Rd.

A legacy of early industrial transport is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the central terrain, tracing the historical movement of timber or minerals through these hills. Genealogists may find particular value in the location of the Whig Hill Cem, situated near the peak of Whig Hill. From the high point of Fools Knob to the depths of Beaver Valley, the map provides a look at the interplay of public forest management and enduring local place names in Forest County.
